I was physically healthy growing up, with only really small issues of joint pain. I was a cheerleader, pageant queen, and was training to do a half marathon. Suddenly, at age 42, I got a virus, which onset a kidney infection, and life went from healthy to fighting for life, within a matter of weeks.

God does not make you suffer. You are loved; a unique creation of a Divine Creator. Pain is inevitable; suffering doesn’t have to be your destiny. You matter, and your journey is not in vain. The joy of the Lord is strength. Don’t Let the Challenge Dictate the Course.
